Years 3 – 6 Artist of the Week

Jimmy Simpson – 3B

Students in Year 3 have been making things out of recycled materials. This adorable ‘Little Penguin’, a native to the south coast of Australia, has been our inspiration.

This artwork was made out of a recycled water bottle, some sand and ‘Modroc’ (plaster bandage). Students observed the little penguin and were able to make the hunched back, the head, wings and beak and in some cases, the feet. The good thing about this work was that the students were able to experiment with the plaster bandage as a sculptural form.

All of the Penguins will take part in the show at Concordia Gallery, Week 3, Term 3.
